Contaminated fuel in your Kia Joice? Diesel in your Petrol Kia?

ABOUT

Filling Diesel in a Petrol Kia is a well-known mistake to make. And exactly what you need to do about it is dependent upon various factors. If perhaps you would like to know what it is best to do to fix it then continue reading.
Listed here are the key factors to take into account when making a decision whether to get a fuel drain:

1. What level of Diesel did you put in to the Kia, taking into account that the fuel capacity of the Kia Joice is most likely about 60 litres?
   1. A tiny quantity of Diesel, as little as 3 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Joice will usually not really be a big problem. Experience has shown us that anything under 3 litres (which is about 5% of the entire fuel tank capacity) is sometimes capable of being sufficiently diluted by entirely filling up the remainder of the tank with Petrol.
      It is extremely uncommon to find a motor vehicle going through issues due to less than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Be aware that it is very unusual - not impossible to encounter. There are actually some cars that don't stand any degree of fuel contamination whatsoever.
   2. In between 3 and 6 litres of Diesel in the Kia (5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 condition. Our experience demonstrates that as many motorists get away with this as those people who don't. Any time you're deciding upon whether or not to chance it and just top it up recognise that it is the same thing as betting everything on black - you've got a 50/50 possibility of it working.
   3. Anything above 6 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Joice really should straightaway be drained seeing that your probability of succeeding with this quantity of contamination is in all likelihood lower than one in fifty - genuinely long odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Kia and drove it: Have you noticed any performance problems as a result of putting the bad fuel in the Joice? If that's the case, have it drained irrespective of the amount of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Continually driving a car that is already beginning to suffer from the consequences of wrong fuel contamination will likely cause progressively more damage affecting the fuel system components.
3. Are you looking for reassurance?
   In that case get it emptied. No matter the contamination percentage, there is always some extent of risk caused by running a Petrol motor on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Likely results of driving a car on the incorrect fuel normally include the motor refusing to start, running unevenly, loss of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, damaged or blocked injectors, etc. These are several of the most typical Diesel in Petrol warning signs, and if you notice any of them stop and get it removed right now.
